>Okay but that completely misses the point of what they were communicating. The comment I was replying to said >When have you last yelled at someone to place the 3D image of a swarm of krill in their minds? To which I say this is preposterous because the amount of data that could possibly fit inside of whale calls is orders of magnitude smaller than the data it would take to make a 3d image of a swarm of krill. Whatever it is they are saying, it must be a significantly compressed reduction, perhaps similar to the "map" that is communicated when you ask a stranger on the corner how to get somewhere. Why should one whale take the time transmit a literal 3d terrain map for another whale when mere driving instructions would suffice?
